Custom Unit Playtesting Exchange

[kevindola]

Hey everybody, this has been pretty dormant for 2021. But I'm still open to doing playtest exchanges. The list of players in the OP is out of date, but if someone has interest let me know

[SchismaticSounds]

Here is a figure I've been directing attention towards and would like playtested and I'm open to playtest something as well.



The Crypt Guardian synergy is the main synergy I'm currently aware of, but they don't don't have to be paired.

I love Cursed Spirit. It reminds me of a time when I talked to the @theGuru at a convention and I suggested placing a figure on an opponent's army card, causing a negative effect to that card. He agreed it was a good idea, so I guess great minds think alike! Love the custom.

Awesome idea, and thanks for checking him out!
The first playtests I actually forgot to use this ability. Being a decent amount of points, the full extent of its use is less possibly utilized, considering that the opposing player would even choose to attempt to destroy him with a hero early on. But I am content with having this ability, factoring in as some point value.
It does make him an odd mix between holding back to be kept alive with his heal, and sending him to die.

It is the rest of the figure's combat which I'm less sure about. Plenty of time I wish he had a short range, but how would it make sense in theme? He does not do well when swarmed.

Thank you! The mini is the Reaper Miniature "Mummy Lich". It is unpainted.

Dang...I had a feeling. well, even if it can't be SoV...still a great custom and totally worth fielding in home-brew games. I really like the power set

Are unpainted figures denied on the spot? Thought there were some exceptions. What of Ulfrid, Cxurg'gyath?
Edit: Didn't know of the Legendary Encounters line. Had to paint these ones since they were what were available.

It's quite an easy paint. 3 main colors and 1-2 optional.
And the figure is available/affordable.
Heck,, I'd even paint them for anyone.

I like these. and the ones available more. I'll go through the alternate design possibilities and see what would change. Will keep with my current design favorable, but a backup alternative is a good idea.

Are there any customs you would like playtested?

[Shiftrex]

Awesome custom idea, but yes the SoV is not the place for unpainted. Still gotta establish the Custom Unpainted Confederation if we want those to get traction

Would definitely play with the lich, looks pretty strong but doesn't have a bonding option so... well deserved as a stand alone.
@SchismaticSounds are you looking to get it playtested?

Good to hear that seconded then. Yes, get the confederation together!
I've just begun 4 other varigated options on some available figures chosen. I'll tag you in their post on my customs thread. Unsure where to go from there.
